Water Department, Parker Paint Manufacturing Company, Mr. Martin. The City of Tacoma's Department of Public Utilities, Water Division shops building has been painted using Parker Paint that was manufactured in Tacoma. The one-story building, made of reinforced concrete, was completed in 1936. Decorative light fixtures, pilasters extending beyond the roof line and decorative motifs above the windows provide an interesting exterior of this utility building. A tower at the far side of the building contains the same diamond motif as the main building.
